Noontime markets have melted off the morning highs in anticipation of the FMOC in a few hours. Volume is starting to get volatile ranging from anemic to moderate and I expect it will be heavy when the minutes are released as the bears and bulls jump in with their interpretation of what the 'words' mean.
By noon the averages had moved down to flat status, but remaining in the green. Boy, I sure wish I had a crystal ball right about now.
The medium term indicators are leaning towards the hold side at the midday and the short-term market direction meter is fractionally bearish. We remain mostly, at best,neutral and conservatively holding. The important DMA's, volume and a host of other studies have not turned significantly and that is not enough for me to start shorting, but now I am getting very concerned. The SP500 MACD has turned down, but remainsabove zero at +7.28. I would advise caution in taking any position during this uncertain period although some technical indicators have starting to turn bearish.
